The drop-off and pick-up location is Cafe Rumi in Kilchberg. It is a cozy cafe right next to the Kilchberg train station. The venue itself has been actively supporting and participating in the community and is absolutely loved by the community for its warm, considerate, and energetic spirit. A great example of a local business supporting the community’s “Living in Harmony.” :)

Day 3- Biodiversity in the City 1
We will go through the Empathy phase of design thinking again on day 3. We will visit the Wildnisspark to understand the different needs of animals who are living there, as well as the shelter’s role in the community.
Day 4- Biodiversity in the City 2
We will rapidly go through the Define - Design - Prototype - Test phase on day 4. We will visit different types of playgrounds in the city and design a space where children and animals can cohabit harmoniously.
Day 5
We will do a BootCamp with the topic “What do we need to live in harmony with nature?” and come up with a design solution that answers this question.
Note:
Every day, we provide snacks. But parents must send the lunch with children (no sugary foods and drinks for lunch, please).
